Excellent
I was dying to headline this review "Wok this way" but I let it go. Sort of.Anyway, I'm really happy with this wok set. As someone who has always just used a large skillet I am new to the technique of cooking with an actual wok - and there is a learning curve - but this is a very good quality tool, no matter what kind of pan you compare it to. The materials and workmanship are great (I noticed a comment from someone about the handle not being sturdy but I found the handle easy to assemble and it is very solid on my pan). I've used it a number of times now and like it a little more every time I use it.I was surprised to have to season the wok prior to using it, similar to cast iron. The listing says it is pre-seasoned, but then when you receive it there are directions inside to season it before use. So I erred on the side of caution and went ahead and seasoned it anyway. It's not really difficult, I just wasn't expecting it. Also for cleaning it is similar to cast iron, you scrub it out but not with soap, and lightly re-season.It includes a surprisingly nice set of accessories; the utensils included are a good weight and finish stainless steel and much better quality than I expected. The set also includes a wok ring; it's a lightweight ring, and my stove came with a cast iron wok ring, so I haven't used this accessory.The wok itself is on the heavy side, if I had one wish it would be for a helper handle (since I have hand and wrist and shoulder issues, it would help me to have that little handle on the opposite side, but it's probably not that important to everyone). That's about all I can say that I would change. I know it's personal preference whether to choose a round or flat bottom, I find I like this rounded shape when cooking. I'm still getting used to how to control the temperature with the carbon steel (it heats fast and hot!) and the round shape (which allows for varying intensity of the heat at different areas of the wok); I guess that's part of the art of wok cooking and will come with time.Originally I wasn't sure I wanted to find space in the kitchen for another - somewhat large - pan, but I'm so glad I went ahead and ordered this wok. It would also make a great gift in my opinion. It looks great and cooks great, and feels like it will last for a very long time.

Missing something
You have to assemble this yourself. Something is missing so the handle doesn’t stay sturdy.

Heavy duty
Nice quality. Comes with sturdy spatulas and stir-fry spoons. Be sure to follow the instructions before use. That will preserve the wok's non-stick coat life. It seems complicated, but is essential for all woks!!

Well made wok and utensils
This wok is very well made and comes with all the tools you need to cook up a great meal. It's heavy duty and easy to clean. I'm looking forward to many years cooking some great stir fry in this wok.Guessing I'll be making less trips for take out now.Up until I got this wok, I was using a fry pan but the shallow sides made it a chore to keep some food from falling out. The size of this wok eliminates that.

Beautiful!
A stunning wok with quality tools and hammered finish. Solid, with quality construction. How it fairs long term remains to be seen but I have no reason to think it will fall apart.Our 30 year old flat bottomed wok has been retired to our cottage, and since our new range has a wok burner with ring, we wanted to upgrade to a round bottom wok. If your range doesn't have this, the set comes with its own ring.The tools are stainless, free of seams, and have a nice weight. This kit also provides a bracket for hanging the tools to a wall, if you so desire. Also includes a blue scrungy for cleaning, and instructions for prepping the wok and seasoning it.VERY pleased.

Absolutely love it!
This is one of my new favorites! I love to cook and this has brought me so much enjoyment in the kitchen again. It comes with everything you need for it including very good instructions. It's basically a full wok kit. It's a large size with plenty of room for cooking in it. I've already used it many times and it hasn't disappointed. Do yourself a favor and get one of these if you also love to cook.
